Video of the Caspian Airlines plane grounded in the middle of the road is going viral on social media. The plane can be seen lying flat on its belly, and traffic is banked on either side of the road as people rush to capture the moment. Since the plane landed horizontally right in the middle of a road, traffic on neither side could go through. There was no major damage to the plane, only its wheels were retracted when it skidded onto the road.
When plane came to a halt, passengers helped each other out, some made their exit through the emergency door while some simply used the main door.
All 135 people were evacuated safely by the emergency services.
